Canadians who shop online now have the option to open an Amazon Rewards MasterCard. The new card is the product of a partnership between Amazon, MasterCard and TD Bank.
Mike Strauch, Country Manager for Amazon, announced in a public statement, “We are really excited to launch a new credit card that rewards our customers on all their purchases at Amazon.ca, Whole Foods Market stores in Canada, and everywhere else”.
“As our Amazon Canada customers would expect from us, the Amazon.ca Rewards MasterCard offers great everyday rewards and value to shoppers”, he added.
The card features an introductory offer for all new cardholders:
Amazon MasterCard will provide 2.5 percent cashback to all eligible prime members on eligible purchases at Amazon.ca, Whole Foods Market stores, and foreign currency transactions after the welcome offer.
Non-Prime members will get 1.5 percent cash back on eligible purchases at Amazon.ca and Whole Foods Market stores in Canada.
